The worst thing about that match is that I ran out of memory on my memory card

Hmm... 12:30. Did you have a nice time tonight, Dani? Let's hear some salty details.

For the price, I figured that you'd be all stocked up on mem cards... I bet you won't make that mistake twice!

Two things working against me that year. I bought the camera the day before I left and I took sooo many pics of the city as it was my first time to Paris. Yeah, now I have 2 gig cards (of course, I didn't go last year and this year it rained so much I only saw 7 matches in 5 days).

don't mess with Justine.. and no, usually the bulls know not to mess with pawan

I love Justine...

Who alone defended Justine while everyone else was heaping all kinds of hate on her? Me, that's who!

That's true. I didn't follow much of the women's game since then. I still don't know the whole story behind all those allegations and don't care to. And ironically, I only 'heard' of Justine big time after she defaulted at the AO final and that whole year I was a Mauresmo fan more than Justine ... but since then its all Justine I can't believe she left the game so soon at her peak.

Yeah, I had her back in Paris (sure would like to read my comments again And when she defaulted at AO, holy crap criers!, the tennis world--IMO, sparked by the media and Pam Shriver in particular--lost it's friggin' mind. I got so sick of Pam, I e-mailed Bud Collins (I did, and he responded), pointing out to him--as I had been doing here--that Edberg wasn't deamonized when he defaulted in the 1990 AO final against Lendl. Hell, after he retired, they named a friggin' trophy after the guy: The Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award

F' Pam Shriver! You can go to hell!

pawan, this is what I said shortly after I joined this board (pretty much what I figured I had said).

...I really don't care who brings it up, my point is that it happens often.

And my point is that a true champion, say, like Pete Sampras, could pull his s**t together and overcome his emotions despite the adverse circumstances (see Sampras v. Courier, '95 AO QF to refresh your memory). Hence, I refer to all y'all as Serena apologists.

Well I don't even know the hand incident. Only heard of it. Actually I didn't even know that Justine won that match or lost that match or that incident was apparently crucial to the outcome. Go figure Screw them all anyway, Justine was THE player. she even IS still THE player even if she's not playing
